Chapter 100: Xixi Has Been Poisoned
Have you found a girl you like?
Ning Jia Nian tossed and turned on the bed, unable to sleep, the question his assistant asked in the car echoing in his mind.
Like her?
Ning Jia Nian also didn’t understand what it felt like to like someone.
He turned over again and felt his mobile phone beside him. After unlocking the screen, he subconsciously clicked into Jiang Yuan’s chat window.
Seeing that she still hadn’t replied, a huge sense of disappointment suddenly washed over him, engulfing him in darkness.
“Does she hate me?”
Ning Jia Nian put down his phone, feeling powerless all over. He didn’t even have the energy to sleep, as if he had lost interest in the world.
He closed his eyes powerlessly.
After an unknown amount of time, a buzzing sound suddenly came from the bed.
In the darkness, Ning Jia Nian’s eyes suddenly opened. He decisively reached out and grabbed his phone, unlocked the screen, and his dim eyes instantly brightened astonishingly, the corners of his lips curving up slightly.
She replied!
Ahhh, Jiang Yuan replied!
Ning Jia Nian immediately sat up, staring at her reply and grinning foolishly.
Jiang Yuan finished showering and sat on the sofa. She played with her phone for a while, and only when she clicked into WeChat did she see an unread message.
She tapped it twice, jumping to the unread message’s location, and saw that Xiao Zhi’s owner had sent her a message.
【 Hello, let’s get acquainted, I’m Ning Jia Nian. 】
Ning Jia Nian?
Jiang Yuan pondered for a moment and replied: 【 Hello, I heard that name today too. So you have the same name as the top star. 】
After sending the message, her stomach rumbled a few times.
I didn’t eat enough tonight.
Jiang Yuan switched to the takeout platform and chose a spicy hot pot with a snail noodle broth.
Before placing the order, she sent a WeChat message to Jiang Die in the room, asking if she wanted one too.
Jiang Die: 【 Are you hungry? I’ll go cook you a bowl of noodles. 】
Jiang Yuan quickly replied: 【 No need, I’m just craving it. I want to eat snail noodles~~ 】
Jiang Die had already lifted the quilt and was preparing to get out of bed. Seeing this message, she lay back down: 【 Okay, then I’ll have a little too. 】
She wasn’t actually hungry, but she wanted to accompany her sister.
Jiang Yuan ordered two servings of spicy hot pot and chose a comedy movie on the television.
The phone on the coffee table vibrated twice with a “buzz.”
After unlocking it, she saw Ning Jia Nian’s reply. Her beautiful eyes were filled with shock.
Ning Jia Nian: 【 It’s not the same name, I am that Ning Jia Nian the netizens are talking about. 】
Jiang Yuan: 【 …Is it that coincidental? 】
Ning Jia Nian: 【 It’s that coincidental~ I saw your live stream today and clicked in to watch. I didn’t expect you wouldn’t recognize me. 】
Jiang Yuan: 【 I don’t usually pay much attention to the entertainment industry. 】
Ning Jia Nian: 【 Do you want to know gossip about someone in the entertainment industry? I can tell you. 】
Jiang Yuan looked at this message, blinking in confusion.
Does she look like someone who gossips that much?
Honestly, she didn’t know many people in the entertainment industry. She used to pay attention to second-generation rich people.
On the other end of WeChat, Ning Jia Nian stared at his phone screen. As time ticked by, Jiang Yuan still hadn’t replied. He fell into anxiety and unease again.
Did I say something wrong?
Will she think I’m a person with bad taste?
It’s over!
Jiang Yuan didn’t know whose name to mention, so she casually sent: 【 Then tell me your gossip. 】
Upon seeing this message, Ning Jia Nian inexplicably felt as if a small beast had entered his heart, bringing vigorous life and unexplainable restlessness, running and jumping wildly, stirring ripples in his heart.
She wants to hear my gossip.
Does this mean she’s interested in me?
The corners of Ning Jia Nian’s lips rose high, full of enthusiasm for this world.
【 Wait for me for a moment, let me think. 】
After sending, he immediately switched to the assistant’s chat window: 【 What gossip do I have? Send it to me quickly! 】
The assistant forwarded the trending searches he was on today: #Ning Jia Nian Watched Jiang Yuan’s Live Stream#, #Ning Jia Nian Jiang Yuan#, #Top Star Ning Jia Nian Appeared in Pet Blogger Jiang Yuan’s Live Stream Room#.
Ning Jia Nian looked at these trending hashtags and suddenly felt his cheeks burn.
His name and Jiang Yuan’s name together looked so good.
Jiang Yuan was completely unaware of this.
Her takeout arrived.
The sisters sat at the dining table, opened two bottles of soda, and ate their steaming hot snail noodle spicy hot pot without any distractions.
“No eating, no eating!” Blueberry jumped onto the dining table, meowing excitedly, “You’re not allowed to eat!”
Jiang Yuan’s eyes flashed with bewilderment, “Why?”
Blueberry: “There’s poison in here! Xixi is already poisoned!”
Hearing this, Jiang Yuan was startled and frowned, “How do you know?”
Blueberry: “Because it smells bad!”
Jiang Yuan: “…”
She looked up and saw Xixi nearby looking like she was about to vomit.
Xiao Bai and Pipi were also hiding on the balcony, afraid to come in.
Blueberry even extended its little paw to cover its nose.
Jiang Yuan: “…”
Okay, she was being inconsiderate.
Animals have very keen senses of smell. The smells they detect must be particularly pungent and unpleasant.
Jiang Yuan quickly apologized: “Sorry, I forgot you can’t stand these smells. I’ll clean them up right away.”
Jiang Die also realized what was happening, put down her chopsticks, covered the takeout box, and sealed it.
“Sis, you go to bed first. I’ll go downstairs and throw these away.” Jiang Yuan put on her jacket and picked up the takeout bag.
“I’ll go,” Jiang Die extended her hand.
Jiang Yuan pushed her hand back, “No need, I’ll go. You go back to your room and rest.”
After saying that, she picked up her keys and went out the door.
It was midnight, and it was quiet downstairs in the residential community.
As soon as Jiang Yuan went downstairs, she saw a familiar figure sneaking out of Building Three.
Cao Laoting?
It’s so late, what is she sneaking around for?
Jiang Yuan threw away the trash and saw Cao Laoting walking towards the main entrance of the community.
She thought for a moment and called out to a tree, “Are there any little birds still awake?”
A little sparrow flapped its wings and flew to her.
“It’s Yuan Yuan! Aren’t you asleep yet?”
Jiang Yuan smiled, “I’m going downstairs to throw out the trash. Can you do me a favor?”
Little Sparrow: “Of course, what do you need me to do?”
“Do you see that chubby woman in front?” Jiang Yuan pointed at Cao Laoting’s back view.
The little sparrow looked back, “I see her!”
Jiang Yuan: “Help me follow her, see where she’s going and what she’s doing. I’ll treat you to a meal tomorrow.”
“Sure!” The little sparrow happily agreed and flapped its wings to chase after her.
Jiang Yuan retracted her gaze and hurried home.
She had thought of several ways to deal with Cao Laoting before, but later consulted Xiao Xu, and she advised against it due to the risk of it being illegal.
Jiang Yuan certainly wouldn’t do anything illegal, so she shelved the idea for the time being.
After leaving the community, Cao Laoting put on a mask and a hat. She was very cautious along the way, afraid of running into an acquaintance.
She arrived at a residential building opposite the community and entered a rented room on the third floor.
The bald old man saw her and immediately lunged forward to hug her plump body, “You’re finally here, I’ve missed you all night…”
